| The Community can host
up to six WWOOFers, depending on season. They will mainly work in the large
organic vegetable garden. In the wintertime, they can help with tree
planting and tree care as an additional field of work. WWOOFers are hosted
mainly in people's homes, most likely with Verena, who is currently
managing the garden. We enjoy the sharing of different cultural
backgrounds. There's often a great mix of people from different cultural
backgrounds working and playing together. Learning and understanding of
each other is just as important as learning about the organic
garden.

"I've had an awesome time
staying with you, learned quite some things about gardening and people -
it's hard to leave!"
"It's very hard to
leave!! Could keep on picking veggies + pickling + singing! Thanks for
letting me help out in such an inspirational garden & for all the
great dinners!"
"Thanks a lot for
having us and sharing your lives with ours. I know now how to make organic
compost and to plat garlic, it's been really funny experiences and we've
enjoyed our stay in the community - we might be back in a month so be
prepared!"

"You opened up
opportunities for me I never looked for here, like making baskets &
learning about democratic education & community life. Oh yeah, and
being able to sing in a choir & around fire. Your garden is beautiful.
Peace, Love & Gardening!"
"It has been a
rejuvenating, life-affirming time for me here - thank you!"
"Crisp,
dew-drenched Rapunzels, chickens with comedy coiffeurs, stray unwashed
socks, chilli chutney and abundantly flowing black tea. Maori songs,
fantails, weeding, mulching and composting. Eating, sleeping, talking.
Thanks for everything."
